Dragon to fire up Donegal
elections
23.03.15
DRAGONS' Den star and
businessman Peter Casey is to independently contest
the next general election in Donegal where he
announced a new business for Buncrana this week.
The Derry-born entrepreneur told today's 'Irish
Times' that he had chosen Donegal over a Dublin
constituency to run as an Independent.
“I resonate with Donegal,” he told the paper. He
said he felt there was room for "a strong
independent". |
Donegal's two,
three-seat, constituencies will merge into one five-seater
for next year's general election.
“We need to stop people leaving Donegal, encourage
them to come back and give tax incentives to bring
business to Donegal, the way New York and New Jersey
give incentives," he told the 'Irish Times'. Mr
Casey is the founder and executive chairman of
Claddagh Resources, a global recruitment business.
He announced the launch of a Buncrana-based global
online recruitment company earlier this week and
hopes to employ ten people by year end. It is
understood he bought a home in Donegal recently. |
